Can't believe this!
« on: September 30, 2011, 03:13:29 PM »
I have just had the most unbelievable week of my life!

One of my clients collects fine art and antiques. I have known him for a few years now and we get on really well.

I was at his villa in France earlier this week and he had an old Gibson. He saw my interest in it and let me have a go.

He really enjoyed my playing and asked if I knew what it was. I said it was an old Gibson Les Paul but couldn't guess the date, maybe 1970's as it looked old.

It was a fricken 1958! We had such a good time jamming later at dinner he offered it to me. Raises some issues re client impartiality lol but man I couldn't refuse. He said he wanted it to go to a player who could really play it and do it justice!

Will get some pics up as soon as I can! Still can't believe it!

When it's true, it's great of course. Such things somehow never happen to me. :-(

DIY, obviously... I can recommend Nitromors (in fact, I've still got half a tin I could let you have) :D
